Trent Klatt, Islanders Player Development Fabbri is a smaller offensive weapon that has numerous assets to his game. Throughout this past season, he continued to improve his game and is the type of player that makes everyone around him better. Vision and hands are very good.

Jakub Vrana’s international play stood out this season, as the Czech winger led the U-18 tournament with eight goals in seven games, en route to a silver medal. Vrana played in the World Juniors as a 17-year-old and spent half of 2013-14 playing in the Swedish Hockey League. The 5’11”, 185lbs. winger was a point-per-game player in the junior ranks, notching 57 points (34G, 23A) in 56 games over two seasons.

Trent Klatt, Islanders Player Development Vrana's a power-forward winger that has an extremely accurate shot and a quick release. He likes traffic, doesn't mind confrontation and while he is primarily a scorer, don't discount his ability to make plays. He doesn't get rid of the puck ever just for the sake of it. He's diligent, purposeful and effective.

Nikita Scherbak had a sensational rookie season in the WHL, leading all rookies in goals (28), assists (50) and points (78). Only Halifax Mooseheads rookie Nikolaj Ehlers had more points than Scherbak among first-year players. Scherbak is primarily a playmaker and will compliment a goal scorer if the Blades can bring one into the fold. The Moscow native led his team in scoring by 35 points.

Trent Klatt, Islanders Player Development Scherbak is a highly-skilled offensive weapon, a smooth, dynamic skater that sees the ice extremely well. He likes to carry the puck and always knows what to do with it when the time comes to distribute it. This is a guy that fills a top-six spot on the wing fairly easily.
